Chanjo the Chameleon

Chanjo works out of Prestos Grove, and can fix anything!

Name: Chanjo
Nickname: Mr. Fixit
Animal: Chameleon
Location: Presto’s Grove
Job: Inventor

Background:
Chanjo the chameleon is the mechanical genius responsible for the wonderful tubes that draw new Dizzywood visitors to the arrival wagon in Presto’s Grove.

Years ago, Presto was crossing an old rickety bridge in his wagon, the Wildwood River raging below and over a tall waterfall.  As Hieronymous, the old bull beastie that pulled Presto’s wagon, reached the middle of the bridge, the supports began to crack.  The wheels fell off one side and the whole wagon began to tilt dangerously.

Presto quickly cut the reins, releasing Hieronymous, who stampeded off the bridge in fear.  Just then, Chanjo came upon the scene in his own self-propelled mechano-wagon.  As quickly as he could, he grabbed a huge sheet, tied the ends of the sheet with cord, then tied the cords around his waist.  He darted across the bridge, the sheet tucked under his arm, just as the last support gave way.  The bridge and Presto’s wagon tumbled into the river, smashing on the rocks with a loud crash before being swept over the falls.  Presto and Chanjo, though, floated gently down to the grass below, courtesy of Chanjo’s quickly invented home-made parachute.

Since that day, Presto and Chanjo have been inseparable friends.  Presto gathers the magic elixir Chanjo needs to power his machines and Chanjo builds and maintains his famous tubes.
